Chapter 46 Change of plan
Seeing Lin Yuan put down the Qing Yongzheng enamel rose green bamboo poetic cup in his hand and stopped doing it, Zhou Zhiming asked: "Aren't the others valuable?"
Lin Yuan: "The others are all imitations from the Republic of China."
After saying that, Lin Yuan picked up another piece casually and said to everyone: "For example, this piece, you see, it has obvious marks of Qingguan Kiln, and its edges, base, and edge positions are all painted with gold. Craftsmanship.
The gold-painting technique is a major feature of porcelain in the Republic of China. It is mainly painted with gold on the mouth of the vessel, the spout, the ears of the bottle, the porcelain Arhat statue, and the base.
What’s more, its painting is more flashy and gives people the feeling of floating. This is because it uses chemical color materials. ”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Although they are Liuzi, they don't know much about this kind of thing, and they are even very unfamiliar.
"I'm just saying it's wrong! Why are there still simplified Chinese characters?" one of the women said.
As you can see, there is a porcelain bowl inside, with the characters on it in simplified Chinese.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "That doesn't matter. Simplified Chinese characters appeared very early, not just in modern times."
He told everyone that the emergence of simplified characters can be traced back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and then gradually increased in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, becoming a commonly used font among the people.
After the Song Dynasty, with the invention of printing, simplified characters began to appear on engraving-printed books, further expanding their popularity and greatly increasing their number.
It is worth noting that simplified Chinese characters have been popular among the people for more than a thousand years, but they have no legal status. Various feudal dynasties regarded folk simplified characters as "vulgar" and "broken", making it difficult for them to be refined.
Its standardization and standardization were only completed in modern times, that is, in 1956, mainland China began to implement simplified characters. This move made simplified characters officially recognized and promoted and became a formal writing form.
"Did it happen before?" Li Qiu Shui was very surprised.
She also thought that simplified Chinese characters only existed in modern times.
"Brother Lin, I know a place where you can pick up missing items. Do you want to go with us?" Li Qiushui continued.
"Oh? Where? Is it far?" The old uncle was more concerned and responded immediately.
Li Qiushui: "It's not far away. It's in my school. The classmates put it up spontaneously. I passed by a few times and saw a lot of old things. I didn't know whether they were real or fake."
"Did college students do this?" The old uncle was moved.
College students have clear eyes, making it easier to pick up leaks!
Another Liuzi was surprised: "Does your school still have stalls?"
Lin Yuan: "Aren't you from the same school?"
They shook their heads. The other two went to the same school, while Li Qiushui and Zhou Zhiming were in two different schools. They got to know each other through the hometown association. They usually get together when they have time, have meals, go out and play.
"Okay, then let's go to your school and have a look!"
The original plan had to be postponed for one day.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiming only took away the Yongzheng enamel rose green bamboo poetic cup and seemed to not want the others, someone asked: "Don't want these?"
Lin Yuan also said just now that although this is an imitation from the Republic of China period and is not very valuable, the Republic of China porcelain still has some value, and there is considerable room for appreciation.
Zhou Zhiming: "No, if any of you wants it, just take it!"
Another male classmate named Qiao Yufan said with a smile: "Then I want this pot, go back and pack it and give it to the tutor. I don't have enough credits this school year."
Lin Yuan and others: "..."
Good guy! What kind of operation is this?
Bribing a tutor?
Lin Yuan: "Do foreign countries also talk this way?"
Qiao Yufan chuckled: "Tell me! I didn't have enough credits last year, so that's what I did. However, you have to give Chinese things, such as porcelain, tea, etc., for it to work." "Damn it! Such a good thing, old man Qiao, why are you hiding this? You should have told me earlier!" Zhou Zhiming glared and scolded Qiao Yufan for not being funny.
You know, he didn't get enough credits last year. In order to get credits, he sat in the library for many days. He didn't like studying, and it felt like his days were like years.
Li Qiushui and another female classmate Huo Qingtong also immediately picked something that felt better and planned to give it to their instructor. They are all scumbags, so don’t blame anyone else.
Don't think that all Liuzi are top academics. Those are all those who have passed the exam, but they are not, and they basically go to pheasant universities. Of course, Zhou Zhiming is not. His family has money and the money to send him to a good university.
"Let's go back and make a more advanced box. It will be perfect." Li Qiushui said with a smile.
Old uncle: "A high-end box? You go first, I will get it for you later."
Speaking of high-end boxes, Uncle De’s antique shop has a lot of them. Some antique boxes also have Chinese characteristics, which foreigners should like.
When it comes to gift giving and packaging, the Chinese are the ancestors.
"Thank you very much, uncle." Li Qiushui and the others also called uncle.
The group of people soon showed up at Li Qiushui's school. It was convenient to enter the campus without checking or anything. It’s no wonder that shooting incidents always occur on foreign campuses.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"There is a lake over there, and my classmates usually set up stalls by the lake." Li Qiushui pointed to the back of a building.
Lin Yuan and the others followed and came to the lake.
Lin Yuan saw that many stalls had been set up along the lake.
There are all kinds of things on the stalls, and some stalls only sell one thing - puppets. The sizes of the puppets range from big to small, the small ones are only as big as a thumb, and the large ones are as tall as an adult.
There are plaster statues on some street stalls. I don’t know whether they were made by hand or purchased.
Some stalls are piled with books and various study materials used by top students. Because there are a lot of labels on the books, I made a lot of notes with colored pens.
……
These college student stall owners will almost enthusiastically shout and introduce someone when they see someone passing by.
These had nothing to do with treasures, so Lin Yuan naturally didn't stop.
After walking several stalls in a row, Lin Yuan finally stopped.
It is not difficult to recognize this mixed race from the appearance of the stall owner. I saw that he was not very tall, his nose was a bit flat, and he had acne on his face.
This somewhat subverted Lin Yuan's impression of mixed-race children. He thought that all mixed-race children were like what was said in the book, with straight noses, angular faces, and a pair of black eyes that were like the deep night sky, full of mystery and so on.
William, the mixed-race stall owner, only has a few things on his stall.
"Can you take a look at this teapot?" Lin Yuan asked.
"What?" William was a little confused, half understanding.
He scratched his head and asked in broken Chinese: "What did you say?"
have to! You look like you have some Chinese ancestry. Did you think you could speak Chinese?
Lin Yuan switched to English mode, pointed to the teapot on the stall, and asked again: "Can you take a look at this?"
Now, William understood and felt happy, and quickly said: "Of course!"
After speaking, he enthusiastically picked up the teapot and prepared to hand it to Lin Yuan.
